Description
Communication
To connect to a wireless network, the printer uses wireless protocol IEEE 802.11b/g that
communicates data through radio transmission and can talk to Access Points that are either 802.11b
or 802.11g compliant.
The wireless printer communicating over 802.11b radio:
y Allows nominal data rates over the air of 11 Mbps as per 802.11b standard.
y Supports automatic rate adaption starting at 11 Mbps and going down as low as 1 Mbps for
maximum range and optimal throughput depending on signal strength.
The wireless printer communicating over 802.11g radio:
y Allows nominal data rates over the air of 54 Mbps as per 802.11g standard.
y Supports automatic rate adaption starting at 54 Mbps and going down as low as 6 Mbps for
maximum range and optimal throughput depending on signal strength. The 802.11g standard
is backwards compatible and, if the 802.11b rates are congured, will automatically decrease
to a 802.11b rate as necessary.
